A great talk while drinking coffee it’s better than a facebook’s like By: Mónica Grisales

Technology has become an essential part of most people, because not only young people and adults use that for communication; now children and old people are experiencing this type of inventions.

There is a phrase that says "technology bring us together to those who are far away, but moves us away from people we have close". And in many cases it’s maybe true, because if one person in our family is far away or if we have a friend who lives in another country, thanks to new technologies, video calls and social networks we can easily communicate with them, long hours at low costs.

But in the opposite case, often it’s difficult to interact with people close to us because many people don’t pay attention to conversations every day for being attentive to their cellphones, chatting with their friends or their girlfriend or boyfriend. It’s very common that a meeting of friends, rarely talk because everyone is checking their social networks, the last tweet that published their favorite singer or a photo published on instagram for a famous model.

I think about having a balanced life. I know that is interesting to learn to use new technologies and social networks that helps us to communicate easily with our friends, but I think it’s more important to have a good conversation with an old friend looking their eyes while we drink a coffee and enjoyed a beautiful sunset or a play, but sadly today is more important facebook o whatsapp.


Our social relations shouldn’t be conditioned by a chat or a social network. It’s more important a call or a visit.
